Fine Art Albums
Why (Professional) Wedding Albums? Trust me, I understand that albums can seem like such a luxurious thing to add to an already expensive day. But here's the thing — albums are an invaluable investment and only true preservation of all the time, love, and attention that went into one of the most significant days of your life. By adding a fine art album to your wedding day budget, you are adding an heirloom that will survive generations to come — something no digital product can ever offer. Not only do you get a top quality, tangible product, but you also get a professional design service that tells a cohesive and captivating story of your day and gives back days (or weeks) of your precious time.
"This was not an experience where you need to be posed and told how to look. It's a story to share with your loved ones. One that you can look at for the rest of your life and feel emotionally connected to and remember all the little details that made the day uniquely yours."

Album Order & Design Process
Album order submission and cover design selections
01.
Before we begin the album creation process, you will be instructed to complete the album order form (below), which can be found towards the end of this page. The form will ask for you to select your album's cover material and design from the options available. After these selections have been made, you'll also want to decide if you'd like to add on additional spreads or mini albums to your order.
Order invoice and payment
02.
Once I receive your album order form, I will send you an invoice for payment. If you are adding an album to your photography package, the cost of the album will be added to your final payment. If you are ordering an album separately, payment is due in full before next steps of the creation process can begin.
Image selection and design proofs
03.
After you receive your final digital gallery, you will select your top 50-75 images by using the "Favorite" button. Once you have made your final selections, you will let me know and I will start on a draft album design (up to three rounds of designs are included in your album order). An alternative method is to have me select the initial images before sending you a proof to review and request adjustments.
A simple, step-by-step process that takes away all the time and stress that you could endure if doing this all on your own. It all starts here.
Book approval, production, and delivery
04.
Once you approve your album design, it will be sent off to production! Album production usually takes between two and three weeks, but I will notify you of any delays. Before your album is shipped to your doorstep, it will first be shipped to me so I can review it's quality and accuracy. I will email you all tracking information once it's on it's way to you!
Tips for Selecting Images
When it comes to selecting images for your album, my biggest piece of advice is not to overthink things. Albums are meant to be a curated collection of your most cherished memories, so the images that jump out at you at first glance is the best place to start. Avoid choosing too many formal group photos, whose purpose are to be printed and displayed individually. One or two photos of the entire family is all you really need. Instead, find ways to showcase the loved ones who celebrated with you in other images you select. Lastly, don't worry too much about including every formality of the day. More than anything, your album should exhibit the most meaningful highlights of the day; the goal is to never forget how you felt in the moment and what parts of the day made it so special.
